Eren’s friends with this guy. We know Hanneth isn’t a bad guy at all. But he’s definitely not a good guy, here. He and his pals? They’re drinking. Drinking while on duty. Even if there hasn’t been an attack in a century, even if you’ve seen small, 15m class Titans beating harmlessly at the wall, it’s still your job to man the gates. Not only is it unprofessional to drink on the job, but, morally, it’s despicable to be intoxicated while the lives of citizens are in your hands!

You may be a well-meaning guy, Hanneth, but the lives of citizens were in your hands on that day. You and your comrades failed in your duty. You saved two children. What if you hadn’t been drunk? What if you and your friends had taken your job seriously? Fewer people would have died. You wouldn’t have been able to take down the Colossal TItan or the Armored Titan. But you would have been able to save people. Saving people was your job.

And you were too drunk to do it competently or successfully. I have no sympathy for you, there.
